If either WPP or comScore informs the other Party that it does not intend to market the Cross Solution to customers in a region where it has first priority, or fails to do so within 6 months after the other Party provides written notice of its interest in selling and marketing to customers in such region, the other Party may take the lead position in selling and marketing the Cross Solution to customers in that region. Notwithstanding anything the contrary set forth above, a Party shall only have the obligation to lead the sales and marketing of the Cross Solution under the scenarios set forth above if the Party is not contractually prohibited by a third party from engaging in such activities.
